Hi Everyone. Here are a couple of quick and easy things you can do if you are getting connection errors in AccountRight to try and resolve them. Flushing the DNS cache can fix any errors where the computer cannot contact our servers. This is done by: Switch off the Modem: Switch off the modem and leave it switched off for a couple of minutes. This might seem overly simple but don’t discount it, as the humble modem can accumulate a lot of information inside it. By switching the modem off and leaving it for a few minutes it allows the modem a chance to clear ensuring that you are connecting with a fresh connection. Flush the DNS cache on the computer: Press the Windows Key on your keyboard Type in: cmd In the list of results,right-click on cmd.exe and choose Run as Administrator A command prompt window should appear At the flashing cursor, type in: ipconfig/flushdns Hit Enter on your keyboard and a confirmation message should be displayed - If not, retry steps 4-5 and ensure the command is typed correctly After the confirmation message, close the window Close AccountRight then re-open the software Try a different connection to see if you can connect.
